Butterfinger Balls (No-Bake Treat)
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Creamy peanut butter | 1 1/3 cups |
| Salted butter, softened | 1/2 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Powdered sugar | 2 cups |
| Butterfinger Bits (plus extra for topping, optional) | 1 1/2 cups |
| Chocolate melting wafers | 3 cups |
Instructions:
Step 1: Cream the Base Mixture — In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Beat together for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add Sugar and Candy Bits — Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined and smooth. Gently fold in the Butterfinger Bits until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Chill the Mixture — Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
Step 4: Shape the Balls — Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the chilled mixture using a medium cookie scoop, then roll it into uniform balls. Arrange them on the baking sheet and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate — Just before removing the balls from the freezer, melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 6: Dip and Coat — Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 7: Garnish and Set — Optionally, sprinkle extra Butterfinger Bits over the tops for added crunch. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate until hardened.
Perfect for parties, gifting, or a sweet late-night snack, these Butterfinger Balls are rich, satisfying, and effortlessly impressive.
